JSA #69

Alex Ross brings his signature painterly realism to this March 2005 issue, depicting a dynamic aerial clash among a sprawling roster of JSA members — Hawkman's dark wings dominate the foreground, while the Spectre, a glowing energy-wielding figure, the gun-toting Vigilante, the crescent-masked Wildcat, and several teammates surge through a lightning-split sky alongside a striking white owl. "Guardian Angels" promises the kind of multigenerational team drama that made this era of JSA so compelling, with Geoff Johns writing and Don Kramer and Keith Champagne handling interior art.
